Recommended ! Ill take this chance to help clarify a little bit, during winter, penguins return earlier hence our dinner meal may feel very rushed, but it is in the good interest of the tour guide to ensure everyone get to see the penguins. When nearing summer, penguins return a little later hence we would have ample time for dinner. Also, during winter, recommended to buy Premium or Plus as there are lesser penguins. Overall fantastic experience. Our guide was Curtis and he is bilingual, very helpful to explain in English and Mandarin. Also, tips is 5AUD per pax. I read some mentioned in the comments why its compulsory and it could have been included in the tour package. Ill help to clarify a little; tour package doesnt work this way. the tour fee that we pay goes to the company. Just like any tour package we signed up with any tour agency, it is required that we do a mandatory tipping each day to the guide and driver. So this is no exception cos its a day tour too. hope this helps!
